Minor Surgery to Remove Under-Eye Fat
This is a straightforward cosmetic procedure that helps eliminate excess fat from the lower eyelid, including two methods:
a. Lower Eyelid Incision / Removing Lower Eyelid Fat Through the Conjunctival Route
Indication: Cases with fat bags under the eyes where the skin and eyelids are still healthy, showing no signs of aging and do not require excess skin removal, only the removal of under-eye fat bags.
Advantages:
No external scars, high aesthetic appeal.
Incision from the inside ensures that the muscles, tendons, and septum supporting the eyelids remain unharmed, helping to avoid complications of lower eyelid sagging.
Less trauma around the eyes, resulting in minimal bruising and swelling.
Faster recovery process.
b. Lower Eyelid Incision / Removing Under-Eye Fat Through External Incision
Indication: Cases of under-eye bags accompanied by lower eyelids with excess, wrinkled, loose skin that need to be removed, lifted, and treated for fat bags and tear troughs.
Advantages:
Can address all issues related to fat bags, excess skin, sagging, weakened orbicularis oculi muscle, and tear troughs.
Aesthetic results last longer.
If women wish to enhance their “windows to the soul”, they should seek a reputable cosmetic facility – where a team of skilled and experienced doctors ensures the correct technique is performed.
Here is the standard medical procedure:
Step 1: The client is examined by the doctor for the overall eye area and advised on the appropriate minor surgical method.
Step 2: The client undergoes health checks and tests (if necessary) as directed by the doctor.
Step 3:The doctor carefully measures the ratios and balances, ensuring the technique is performed accurately and efficiently.
Step 4: The doctor disinfects and anesthetizes the eye area, ensuring the client feels no pain or discomfort throughout the procedure.
Step 5: The doctor performs surgery along the predetermined line to restructure the subcutaneous fat, making the eyelids firmer. Then, the doctor gently stitches the incision with cosmetic thread.
Step 6: The client cares for the wound according to the doctor’s instructions. At the follow-up appointment, the client meets the doctor for a recovery check and adjustments if necessary.
Treating Under-Eye Bags with RF Technology
RF (Radio Frequency) technology is an advanced beauty technique that uses RF waves to regenerate collagen, restore skin elasticity and subcutaneous tissue, thereby reducing under-eye bags.
Advantages of RF Technology:
Effectiveness: Not only treats fat bags under the eyes, but also addresses other signs of aging in the eye area thanks to RF technology, thus restoring youthful and radiant eyes for women.
Painless: RF waves gently contact the skin surface, non-invasive, so they do not cause pain or discomfort to clients.
No recovery time needed:After treatment with RF technology, clients can go home immediately with youthful eyes without requiring extensive recovery time.
Limitations of RF Technology:
Relatively effective: Suitable for mild under-eye bag conditions due to sagging, with minimal excess fat.
Contraindicated for certain individuals: Pregnant women, individuals with skin diseases, or chronic conditions (such as cardiovascular issues). Therefore, before treatment, clients need to clearly inform their health conditions so that the doctor can actively monitor and propose appropriate treatment directions.
The Procedure for Applying RF Technology Treatment is as Follows:
Step 1: The doctor examines the eye skin area and advises the client on the method for clear understanding.
Step 2: Clean the area of skin that requires care.
Step 3: Use the RF machine according to technical standards to impact the skin area, subcutaneous tissue in the lower eyelid, and stimulate collagen regeneration to restore muscle tension and skin elasticity.
Step 4: Care for the skin area after treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
Treating Under-Eye Bags with Cosmetic Products
Women can use serums or creams specifically designed for the eye area containing ingredients such as retinol, caffeine, vitamin C, and antioxidants like CoQ10 to effectively moisturize, reduce water retention in the eyes, and help the skin around the eyes become firmer, thereby reducing under-eye fat bags.
Advantages of Using Cosmetic Products:
Convenient and simple: Eye skincare products are increasingly popular in the market, with a variety of brands, providing women with many choices that are easy to purchase and use.
Relatively low cost: The cost of cosmetic products is more economical compared to other methods of under-eye bag removal.
Effective in preventing and maintaining results of treatment as well as anti-aging in the eye area.
Limitations of Using Cosmetic Products:
Does not achieve stable results: Generally, these products provide slow and not long-lasting results.
Risk of skin irritation: Some individuals may react to the ingredients in the products, causing irritation, redness, itching, or swelling in the eyelid area.
Notes When Using Supportive Treatment Cosmetics:
Only choose reputable products with clear origins.
Because the skin on the lower eyelid is very thin and sensitive, women should only use a sufficient amount of cream and massage gently. Avoid using too much or applying excessive pressure, which can cause damage and skin irritation.
Along with using cosmetic products, women can also apply a few methods to reduce under-eye bags at home:
Apply eye masks with cucumber, potato, aloe vera, etc.
Massage the skin under the eyes to relax the muscles, helping the eyes appear brighter.
Maintain a healthy diet and get enough sleep to combat aging.
Possible Complications
Some cases of lower eyelid surgery at untrustworthy cosmetic facilities can lead to complications such as:
Infection if the surgical procedure is not properly sterilized and disinfected.
Unsightly scars affecting aesthetics after surgery, due to the surgeon's skill and careless stitching.
Eyelid inversion causing aesthetic loss, even leading to severe damage if not addressed in time.
Choosing the wrong treatment method leading to ineffectiveness.
However, the above complications can be effectively managed and minimized if you receive treatment at a reputable clinic.
